Tom works at an aquarium shop on Saturdays. One Saturday, when Tom gets to work, he is asked to clean a 180-gallon reef tank. His first job is to drain the tank. He puts a hose into the tank and starts a siphon. Tom wonders if the tank will finish draining before he leaves work. He charts the amount of water remaining in the tank over time as shown in the table below.

Answers

Answer 1

Please find the question attached below.

The equation that models the decrease in water (in gallons) of the fish tank over time (in hours) is y = - 20x + 180.

We know that a linear equation with one variable is one that contains just one variable.

Here we have to find the appropriate equation that models the given chart.

For option A. :

y = - 40x + 140

At x = 2, y = - 40*2 + 140 = - 80 + 140 = 60 =/ 140

So this option is incorrect.

For option B.:

y = - 40x + 180

At x = 2, y = - 40*2 + 180 = - 80 + 180 = 100 =/ 140

So this option is incorrect.

For option C.:

y = - 20x + 140

At x = 2, y = - 20*2 + 140 = - 40 + 140 = 100 =/ 140

So this option is incorrect.

For option D.:

y = - 20x + 180

At x = 2, y = - 20*2 + 180 = - 40 + 180 = 140

So this option is correct.

Therefore, the equation that models the decrease in water (in gallons) of the fish tank over time (in hours) is y = - 20x + 180. So, the last option is correct.

Find two consecutive even numbers such that the sum of 3 times the smaller and 5 times thelarger is106.

Answers

Answer:

12 and 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The first number can be assigned x, the second will be assigned x+2 so that it will be even.

3(x)+5(x+2) = 106

3x+5x+10 = 106

8x = 96

x = 12

x+2 = 14

The two consecutive even numbers such that the sum of three times the smaller and five times the larger is 106 are 12 and 14, computed using the linear equation in one variable 3x + 5(x + 2) = 106.

We are given two consecutive even numbers, thus the larger number will be two more than the smaller one, as consecutive even numbers differ by two.

We assume the smaller number to be x.

Thus, the larger number = x + 2.

We have been given that three times the smaller number summed with five times the larger number results in 106.

This can be shown by the linear equation in one variable:

3x + 5(x + 2) = 106.

To find the numbers, we need to solve this linear equation in one variable as follows:

3x + 5(x + 2) = 106,

or 3x + 5x + 10 = 106 {Simplifying},

or, 8x + 10 = 106 {Simplifying},

or, 8x + 10 - 10 = 106 - 10 {Subtracting 10 from both sides of the equation},

or, 8x = 96 {Simplifying},

or, 8x/8 = 96/8 {Dividing both sides of the equation by 8},

or, x = 12 {Simplifying}.

Thus the smaller number, x = 12.

The larger number, x + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14.

Thus, the two consecutive even numbers such that the sum of three times the smaller and five times the larger is 106 are 12 and 14, computed using the linear equation in one variable 3x + 5(x + 2) = 106.

There are 24 boys and serveral girls in a class.They sit in pairs so that exactly one fourth of the boys sit with a girl and exactly one half of the girls sit with a boy. How many students in the class?

Please explain it step-by-step. I will give you a brainlist!

Answers

Answer:

36 total students in the class

Step-by-step explanation:

Analyze the boys

There are 24 boys in the class.

Since they sit in pairs, and exactly 1/4 of the boys sit with a girl, then one-quarter of the 24 boys sits with a girl.

1/4 * 24 = 6, so 6 of the boys sit with a girl.  Reflexively, 6 girls sit with a boy.

Analyze the girls

Since the problem states that exactly half of the girls sit with a boy, then half of the total number of girls is 6 (since we know that exactly 6 girls were sitting with a boy).

1/2 * x = 6

Multiplying both sides by 2...

x=12

So there are 12 girls total in the class, half (6) of whom sit with a boy.  

Find the total

There are 24 boys total in the class, one-quarter (6) of whom sit with a girl.  The rest of the boys (18) sit in pairs with another boy (9 pairs), and the rest of the girls (6) sit with another girl (3 pairs).

Since there are 12 girls total and 24 boys total in the class, the total number of students is the sum of 12 and 24

12+24 =36 total students in the class

Break the polygon into two shapes. A rectangle and a triangle.

The area formula for a rectangle is A=L•W or

Area = Length x Width. Counting the units for length and width is 9 x 2. Which would equal 18units.

Now for the triangle, the formula is A=1/2 (b•h)

The base is 9 and Height is 6.

9 • 6 = 54

Since a triangle is half the area of a rectangle you divide 54 by 2. Area for triangle is 27.

A hydro company is laying down power lines in the ground. They have two sections of cable so far that are 325.0 m and 430.0 m long. These two sections of power lines meet at an angle of 23°. How much extra cable is necessary to connect the two pieces of existing cable? Round to the nearest metre.

Answers

The length of extra cable that is required to connect the two pieces of existing cable is equal to 182 meters.

How to determine the length of extra cable?

In order to determine the length of extra cable that is required to connect the two pieces of existing cable, we would apply the law of cosine as follows:

B² = A² + C² - 2(A)(C)cosB

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

B² = 325.0² + 430.0² - 2(325.0)(430.0)cos23

B² = 105,625 + 184,900 - 279,500(0.9205)

B² = 290,525 - 257,279.75

B² = 33,245.25

B = √33,245.25

B = 182.33 182 meters.

A store carries chocolate, vanilla, peppermint, and lemon candies. One day, the store clerk notices that he has fifteen candies total. Furthermore, the number of peppermint and lemon candies together is twice the number of chocolate and vanilla candies together, and there are eight more peppermint candies than lemon candies. How many lemon candies are there

Answers

The total number of lemon candies is 1, solved using the linear equation in one variable 3l + 12 = 15, where l is the number of lemon candies.

We assume the number of chocolate candies to be c.

We assume the number of vanilla candies to be v.

We assume the number of peppermint candies to be p.

We assume the number of lemon candies to be l.

The total number of candies is given as 15.

This can be represented by the linear equation: c + v + p + l = 15 ... (i).

The number of peppermint candies and lemon candies together is given to be twice the number of chocolate and vanilla candies together.

This can be represented by the linear equation: p + l = 2(c + v) ... (ii).

There are eight more peppermint candies than lemon candies.

This can be represented by the linear equation: p = l + 8.

Substituting p = l + 8 in (ii), we get,

l + 8 + l = 2(c + v),

or, 2(l + 4) = 2(c + v),

or, c + v = l + 4.

Substituting c + v = l + 4, and p = l + 8, in (i), we get:

l + 4 + l + 8 + l = 15,

or, 3l + 12 = 15,

or, 3l = 15 - 12 = 3,

or, l = 3/3 = 1.

Therefore, the total number of lemon candies is 1, solved using the linear equation in one variable 3l + 12 = 15, where l is the number of lemon candies.

The orthocentre for the triangle ABC is (1.85, 5.88).

Triangle ABC has vertices at A(2, 8), B(6, 2) and C(-3, 2).

We need to use analytical geometry to determine the coordinates of the orthocentre.

How to find the orthocentre using analytical geometry?

Steps to find the orthocentre:

Step 1: First, we will find the slopes of any two sides of the triangle (say AC and AB).

Step 2: Next, we can find the slopes of the corresponding altitudes. Remember that if two lines are perpendicular to each other, they satisfy the following equation.

Step 3: Next, we will use the slope-point form of the equation of a straight line to find the equations of the lines that are coincident with the altitudes BE and AD.

Step 4: Next, we can solve the equations of BE and CF simultaneously to find their solution, which gives us the coordinates of the orthocentre H.

Now, the slope of AC=2-8/-3-2=6/5 and the slope of BE=5/6.

The slope of AB=2-8/6-2=-6/4=-3/2 and the slope of CF=-2/3

The slope of BE=y-2/x-6=5/6

6x-5y-26=0----(1)

The slope of CF=y-2/x+3=-2/3

-2x-3y=0----(2)

By solving (1) and(2), we get

y=26/14=13/7=1.85 and x=5.88

These factors must add to - 5. There's no way that will happen with 1 and - 1 and you would be creative math if you tried to say that you could make one of the factors (x -1-1-1-1-1-1). That creates a whole new question.

Solve the following
2(x+6)-10=12

Answers

⊰________________________________________________________⊱

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the distributive property,

2(x+6)-10=12

2x+12-10=12

Collect a few like terms

2x+2=12

Subtract 2 from both sides

2x=10

Divide the equation by 2.

x=5

Done!!

⊱______________________________________________________⊰

2(x+6) - 10 = 12
2(x+6) = 22
x+6 = 11
x = 11 - 6 = 5

x = 5
